ABSTRACT
Despite the continuous efforts of different generations to eradicate violence against women, statistics reveal that the problem has not been solved. The aim was to identify convergences and divergences in the perceptions of young people and adults and highlight possible future solutions. This mixed study used questionnaires (N = 628) and involved focus groups with both youth and adults (N = 19). The study contributes to understanding the age-differentiated victimization of those who witness violent acts. Both groups agreed that the solution to violence is an individual responsibility with the victims even if it affects interpersonal relationships with the perpetrators.
